Exclusive RETURN OF THE KILLER SHREWS Trailer Brings a Sequel After Nearly 60 Years
Sixty years. I want you to let that sink in. It’s been almost 60 years since Ray Kellogg’s 1959 sci-fi/horror film Killer Shrews was released. This October, its sequel, Return of the Killer Shrews is finally getting a VOD release, celebrating one of the longest periods between a film and its follow-up. It will be hitting iTunes on October 26 where it will follow that release by appearing on Amazon and Google on November 9.
“In 1959, the original Killer Shrews exploded onto drive-in screens, as a charter boat Captain and a bevy of hapless scientists were besieged by a horde of mutant beasts on a remote, storm-swept island. This classic mad doctor-meets-monster movie mashup featured edgy character actor James Best as Captain Thorne Sherman and famously low-fi special effects, giving birth to one of the most revered genre entries of its era.
Now, more than five decades later, the snarling, blood hungry monsters are back in Return of the Killer Shrews. Captain Thorne Sherman returns to Shrew Island with a boatload of cargo for a TV crew filming a reality television show. As the cameras roll, cast and crewmembers start falling prey to strange bloodthirsty creatures, and Thorne Sherman comes face to face with the toothy terrors that have haunted his dreams for so many years. What, or who, could be behind the bloody rampage of the insatiable giant killer shrews? ”
